Send photos for 'Picture a Garden' display

Rain and sunshine have worked their magic, and gardens across the Fond du Lac area are bursting with good health. Capture your gorgeous greenery with the Fond du Lac Public Library’s Picture a Garden display.

Area residents are invited to send a photo of any aspect of their gardens - plants, pickings, pests, even gnomes - by email to [email protected]. The photo be printed out with the photographer’s name and mounted in a special display around the main staircase in the downtown library. Emails should include the photographer’s full name.

Picture a Garden will include poems about gardening and its bounty written by members of the Foot of the Lake Poetry Collective.

Photos also can be submitted by mail to Picture a Garden, 32 Sheboygan St., Fond du Lac WI 54935. Include the name of the photographer with the photo; the photographs will not be returned.

Coming Saturday, August 3, the library will offer a free class, Making the Most of Your Smartphone Camera, at 1 p.m. in the McLane Room. The class will be taught by photo experts and will include basic information about photography, plus insights into the popular photo apps, Instagram and Snapseed.
